I find it quite natural on the rudder to push left go left, but there again I also ride a motorcycle.
Then the learning progression through the tricycle, billycart, bicycle, motorcycle and motor vehicles.
I know it sounds counterintuitive but on a motorcycle at any speed above a walking pace in order to go left you push left on the bars. This draws a nice parallel to the rudder pedals/bar, I think of it as an increase in the pressure of my hand or foot in the direction I want to go.
